Isle Open Event 1 (Flight 1C): Gelley's Going Final Table Hunting Once Again

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 86

David Gelley (Boca Raton, FL) has made a habit of reaching final tables here a the Isle Poker Room, and
has his sights set on another deep run.

While Anthony Astarita's name was one that needed introduction to followers of the Isle Poker Room blog, David Gelley (Boca Raton, FL) should be no stranger to those keeping up with tournament action.  Gelley made his first appearance on the blog in April of this year, earning second place money in a twelve-way chop that ended the "April $100,000" (a $350 No Limit Hold'em event run outside of any series).  David's "runner-up" finish was worth $15,418, which still stands as his second largest tournament cash.

Gelley went on to accomplish a pretty impressive feat, reaching final tables of back-to-back multi-flight tournaments in August.  On August 20th, David was part of a nine-way chop that ended the "August $150,000" (a $360 No Limit Hold'em event run outside of a series.  This time he would earn sixth place money ($15,110), almost matching his total from April.  Exactly a week later, David would reach the final table of the "August $100,000" ($150 No Limit Hold'em), bowing out in seventh place (and earning $3,706).

The trio of cashes have helped balloon his career earnings over $136,000, and made him a clear favorite to run deep in any Isle Poker event he enters.
